Be a Warrior (I) through a Wrinkle in Time

January 7, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 2 Comments

“Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such thing as a tesseract.” So goes my favorite quote from what’s probably my favorite book. At least, it’s the book that opened up to me a world that has become a cornerstone of my life – “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle. It might have…

Getting an A+ on your C+: Boat Pose

January 5, 2018 by Fandom Yoga 2 Comments

I like getting A’s. A lot. They are clear-cut, unmistakable validation. Straight line up, straight line down. Inscrutable awesomeness. Like a pyramid, ready to stand the test of time. I am a good, worthwhile person, otherwise, why else would there by an A on my paper? It’s probably the thing I miss most about being…

January 3, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Any new practice can be intimidating – be it sports or music, or the geekier things I love like cosplay or learning Klingon (Qapla!, or Success! with that one). Thankfully, yoga is among the easiest practices to begin – and it’s immediately rewarding. To start, try out these three simple beginner’s poses (Mountain Pose, Child’s…

Downward Facing Dog: Your Back to the Future

January 3, 2018 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Marty McFly may have gone Back to the Future a number of times, but in this pose you can actually face your back to the future. That’s because in Downward Facing Dog you plant your hands in front of you and angle your back to the front, which is where you are going. As you…

Then again, I’m willing to wait for Burr’s control

December 29, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Recently I wrote about the virtue of flexibility, expressed both in yoga and in Hamilton. Obviously a body must be flexible to do yoga poses, while Hamilton was flexible in his strategy towards life. He “did what it [took] to survive” (and thrive). Burr, meanwhile, is inflexible and unadaptable to the point where it destroys…

Deep breath now: Never be cruel, never be cowardly

December 28, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

When Peter Capaldi finally threw back his head and arms, regeneration energy flying everywhere, it was truly the end of an era. It marked the end of male domination of the Doctor on Doctor Who, which is very exciting indeed. But it’s also the end of everything incredible he brought to the role. The huge,…

I’m not throwing away my shot at Hamilton’s flexibility

December 27, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Just what is it about this Alexander Hamilton? Such was the question of 2016–well, the fun question. There were many other more agonizing questions for another time, of course. But it was surely a question on the minds of many as the musical about him skyrocketed into massive popularity. Fans were converted by the thousands…

Who’s ready to Expelliarmus? : Warrior II

December 26, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

The wizarding world is full of quaint, quirky fun like chocolate frogs and booger-flavored jelly beans. It’s also a vicious place where the few words of a forbidden curse can leave you a smoldering spot on the floor. The extremes experienced by Harry Potter and crew require some structure to navigate, and interpersonal conflict is…

Shanti: Sit Down and Talk

December 23, 2017 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

“Shanti” : “Sit Down and Talk” – The Doctor, “The Zygon Inversion” Shanti is a soft word, a pretty word, a word we chant in yoga while just enjoying its sounds. But Shanti, or peace, is revolutionary. Shanti is what the Doctor calls for in his famous speech in “The Zygon Inversion,” delivered in tones…
